Chapter 202 An Exorbitant Demand
Brendan had always thought that Deirdre looked beautiful. He used to believe that he had this thought just because she looked like Charlene. Nevertheless, his thought remained unchanged even though Deirdre had been disfigured for a long time.
Deirdre’s mouth was open, but she couldn’t say a single word. She only felt awkward. As she tried to change the topic, the child in her embrace began to cry, grabbing her collar without any intention of letting go.
“What is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Deirdre got nervous but she didn’t lose her cool. She patted the back of the child with one hand while touching the child’s forehead with the other.
She did it in one go, and the little girl in her embrace stopped crying.
Brendan felt rather dazzled while watching Deirdre. He inexplicably wondered how good it would be if
this child was theirs!
In that case, even if Deirdre learned about the death of her mother, she would live for the sake of the child. He wouldn’t allow her to suffer continuously provided that she lived a good life.
“Brendan? Brendan?”
As soon as Brendan recollected himself, he realized that Deirdre had called his name a couple of times. Hence, he immediately replied, “I’m here. What is it?”
Deirdre bit her lip, feeling that something was inexplicably strange about this. However, she didn’t dwell on it, so she said, “Can you please help me check what she needs? Although she stopped crying, she doesn’t want to let go of my collar.”
Meanwhile, the man saw the shattered window of his car. Infuriated, he yanked Brendan’s arm and snarled, “You did this, right?! How dare you shatter my car window! I’ll make sure you pay for the damage!” “Exactly! Pay for the damage!” While holding the child in her arms, the woman recklessly scurried over without noticing that she had hurt the child. She did not care about the crying child. Instead, she said accusingly, “As a man wearing a branded suit, aren’t you ashamed of shattering our car window to steal a kid? We will not back down unless you pay for the damage! Pay us 40,000 dollars, or we’ll report it to the
police!”
Deirdre turned pale while hearing the non–stop accusations of the couple. She hadn’t expected that these two would be so shameless.
Brendan took a glance at the car and shot back with disgust on his face, “Is your car worth 40,000 dollars? Why would you make such an exorbitant demand?”
The woman’s expression suddenly changed. Meanwhile, the man was so infuriated that he tried to lunge at Brendan. But when the man saw Brendan’s intimidating aura and height, he retreated and said with a stubborn tone, “I want you to pay for the damage regardless! Otherwise, I’ll take you to the police station. The choice is yours! For a man like you, who wears a branded suit, 40,000 dollars isn’t a big deal, is it? Besides, my child is frightened! What’s wrong with charging a little extra money?”
